Why would a node send the "purpose of the connection" in it's Attach?
Attach is low level and hardly indicative of anything Overlay
related.
The Attach clearly states the purpose of the connection outright,
what
we do not is the reason for the Join and what role the joining node
wishes to assume.
What do you mean? Only nodes which are going to store data send
joins. That's what Join means.
Technically Join doesn't mean or indicate nodes that "are going to
store data", instead Join indicates a node that WANT's to store and
route. If the join_req fails the Client is still a Client otherwise it
sends a series of Store's along with Update's and only then is the
node considered a Peer inside of the ring vs a Client outside of the
ring.
I assume this AppAttach performs an Attach and then the AppAttach
instead of a Join?
